triple j has today announced a rebrand of their over 30s digital station, Dig Music; it shall henceforth be known as ‘Double J.’
“With a focus on new music, Double J also celebrates the iconic music you grew up with and brings with it unprecedented access to the triple j interview and sound archives.”
The ever-delightful new/former host Myf Warhurst will be coming aboard to present a daily show from 11-3pm on weekdays and has said of the new gig: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Double J team. It’s a really exciting time to come on board with such a unique project. It’s a brand new platform where music lovers, like me, can discover new music and enjoy some old faves as well. I can’t wait to be a part of that.”
In a statement triple j Manager Chris Scaddan said: “We have wanted to build a station like this for a number of years and now, with your help, we are really proud to deliver Double J. While it won’t be a throwback to the music of the original Double J, it will be a station that takes the best elements of triple j’s past – a name, a presenter and the incredible archives, thrown headlong into the future with the best new sounds around. It means even more airplay for Australian music and more of the values and ethos that make triple j so celebrated around the world.”
More presenters and programming announcements still to come, with Myf set to announce the full bill at a live broadcast midday Wednesday 30th of April.
